6th and Main Park

A small green space in the heart of Downtown Arkadelphia. This park features a small gazebo and picnic areas, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a snack from one of the downtown coffee houses or restaurants.

Clark Park

Less of a park and more of an event space, the Clark Park is one of our areas of beautification in Downtown Arkadelphia. By day, it serves as a parking area for downtown business traffic, featuring well-manicured islands and green areas. This is a great open area for special events downtown. The most notable feature are murals in the area, located on the side of the Honeycomb Restaurant and Group Living buildings.
